MINUTES OF JOINT MEETING OF TRUSTEES' COMMITTEES
FARM AND HORTICULTURE.
Court Room, Town Hall, Amherst, 10:00 p.m., May 10,1912.
PRESENT: Messrs. Gleason, Ellis, Howe, Frost, Ellsworth.
Mr. Kenney and Professors Waugh, Foord, Sears,
and White were also present.
Trie meeting was preceded by a public hearing on a petition
presented to the Trustees, requesting that the present rules
prohibiting the sale in trie town of Amherst of college grown
products be repealed.
In view of the sentiment expressed at the nearing, on
motion of Mr. Frost, it was Sale of
college
VOTED: That these joint committees recommend to the proaucts
Trustees that the rules as adopted in June, 1907,
regulating trie sale of college products in the Town
of Amherst, be continued, and that the heads of
departments be authorized to sell produce in the
Town of Amherst at wholesale prices.
A lengthy discussion followed relative to the hours of
labor to be observed at the college for common laborers. No
action was taken however.
HIRING Oil SALE OF COLLEGE PRODUCT S.
The Trustees' Coroiaittees on Farm and Horticulture held a
public hearing in the Court Room of the Town Hall, Amherst, Mass.,
at 7:30 p.m. Kay 10, 1912. The object of the hearing was to con-
sider a petition, signed by approximately 1 85 citi-
zens of Amherst, requesting that the policy pursued by the col-
lege, relative to the sale of its products in Amherst, be modified.
There were presentrMr. Charles A. Gleason, Hon. J. Lev/is
Ellsworth, Mr. George H. Ellis, Mr. Elmer
D. Howe and Mr. Harold L. Frost of the
Trustees; Professors 7/augh, Foord, Sears,
White, Yeaw and Graham, and Mr. Kenney of
the college faculty. In addition approxi-
mately 100 citizens of Amherst attended
the hearing.
Mr. Charles A. Gleason presided.
The chairman announced that those favoring the sale of the
college products in the Town of Amherst would be heard first.
Following is a brief outline of the testimony submitted:
Professor Smer3on .
He does not care to interfere with the success of the farm-
ers or otiier producers in the community, but is anxious to be
able to procure good farm and garden produce, and is willing to
pay a fair price for the same. The college should not, however,
put produce on the market at a low price in competition with
other produce. He enjoyed for years the privilege of purchasing
produce of the college, and experienced considerable inconvenience
when he could no longer do so. The citizens of Amherst should
enjoy the same opportunities of purchasing college produce as
residents of other towns. He has never been able to procure
elsewhere as good produce as from the college. The price cf
college produce should he kept high, so that the competition
will not injure the local dealer.
Mr. Frank L. Loqmis .
The people of Amnerst snould have the privilege of buying
college produce, but the college should charge prices commensurate
with the value of the produce sold. The objection to the sale of
college produce in the town has always been due to the fact that
the college at one time under sold current market prices.
Mr. Kidder .
Better produce can be obtained from the college than from
any other source in the town. The peop] e are willing to pay
more for this produce because it is worth more.
Mr. E. A. Thompson .
Inasmuch as the people of Amherst are paying extra taxes
because of the presence of the agricultural college, they are
entitled to all possible advantages to be derived from the col-
lege in the purchase of its products. Resentment has been felt
by the people of Amherst against those who agitated the present
prohibition of the sale of college produce, and resentment has
been felt against the college because its Trustees acquiesced in
the demand of certain dealers.
Mr. Thomas Smith .
The demand of the better trade in the town is for agricul-
tural college products. People are willing to pay more for these
products than for those of other producers. Under the present
ruling, practically any citizen of Amherst can obtain college
products provided he i3 acquainted with a student or an em-
ployee of the college. This condition operates unjustly against
those citizens who are not so situated.
Mr. V/. H. Phillips .
There is not enough good fruit ; market garden produce
raised in Amherst to supply the present demand. It is unjust
that the people of the town can not enjoy the privilege of pur-
chasing the best produce available.
T."r. Atkins .
In reply to the above statement, Mr. Atkins testified that
an acquaintance of his in Belchertown had found it difficult to
dispose of fruit of superior grade in Amherst.
Mr. Da kin .
It is narrow policy for the Town to pursue to deprive its
citizens of privileges, which tend to make the town more at-
tractive to new residents. The agitation against the sale of the
college products in town was ill advised and shr rt-sighted . The
sale of college products is not likely to actually compete with
local dealers.
Mr. Herbert S. Carruth .
The present situation is illogical and unjust to the citi-
zens of Amherst. No unfair competition will be involved if the
college iisposesof its products on a proper basis.
3.
Dean George D. 01d3 .
Dean Olds asked a question as to how many dealers had bene-
fited by the present arrangement. Ho reply to this question wa3
made.
Mr. Whit comb .
Any one would be willing to buy good produce of any dealer
in town if the same cou^d be obtained. No one about here do e3
raise as good produce as ^the college. Citizens have the right to
purchase of the college, and should not be deprived of it, unless
the element of unfair competition enters into the situation.
Mrs. Geor ge D. Olds .
The public markets of the Town should be allowed to furnish
college products to its patrons. Local producers do not furnish
a regular supply for the markets.
Mr. George C utle r, _Jr .
Summer people are often attracted to Amherst with the hope
and expectation of being able to procure the best in the way of
fruit and vegetables.
Dr. i Frederick Tucker man .
As a general principle, all the towns should stand in the
same relation to the agricultural college. The citizens of Amherst,
however, have special rights to the privileges offered by the
college, because of the fact that when the college was located
in Amherst, a large sura of money was raised partly by general
taxation and partly by personal subscription for the aid of the
college in its early days.
Mr. A tkins .
The college should be managed so as to bring the greatest
financial return to the state. Its products should be put on the
market at a fair price, and if this is done no complaint need be
made from local dealers or others.
Mr . Y/hitcpmb .
Apparently people of other towns have benefits derived from
the agricultural coll ege, which residents of Amherst do not enjoy.
Mr. Ha rold L. Fros t .
■Mr. Frost asked Mr. Thomas Smith why retailers in Amherst do
not purchase college products and furnish them to their patrons.
Mr. Thomas Smith .
Mr. Smith replied that after the present ruling was made
this was done, but that opposition was r? ised bj, certain dealers.
4.
Mr. E. _ A. Th ompson.
Mr. Thompson stated that if the agricultural college deals
with outside buyers it cannot v/ell sell at wholesale to Amherst
deal ers.
Mr. Charles A. Gleason .
Mr. Gleason expressed the opinion that not as much produce
is now raised as was the case before the present regulations
were put in force. The Trustees of the College took the former
action only because of the pressure of public sentiment as ex-
pressed in the hearings held five years ago. It is the business
of the college to melee the farm pay as well as possible, con-
sistent, however, with the interest of the farmers in the com-
munity.
Mr. 3. A. Phillips. ,
People of the town have been inconvenienced and disappointed
because of the operation of the present rules governing the sale
of college produce.
A few others added brief testimony, much along the lines
already indicated.
Mr. Ki ngman .
The agitation in former years grew out of the fact that the
college was under selling the retail prices of the town. The
question should be settled fairly to both parties, and if this
is done there is likely to be no opposition on the part of any
to the selling of college products in the town of Amherst.
Mr. Johnson .
A fair arrangement should be made by the college, so that
other producers would, not be injured by the competition. There
is no objection to the college selling its surplus in Amheist at
a fair price.
Mr. Atkin s .
Mr. Atkins stated a specific instance, where a few years
ago the college under sold the current market.
Mr. E. A. Thompso n.
The peopl e are not protesting against prices charged in Am-
herst but of the inferior quality of products that can be obtained
5.
Mr. II. N. Thomson.
The Amherst market is an extremely small one f< I
grown fruits and vegetables. The college formerly controlled tie
local market for such produce, and is likely to do so again if
no restriction is made as to its sale. The price for such produce
is lower in Amherst tnan elsewhere.. The price charged in Amherst
shou] d be the Boston price plus express one way.
Mr . Kingman .
The Amherst market is 30 small that the college could easily
control it unless some restrictions were placed upon the sale of
college produce.
M i- . J . I ew i s E l Is worth .
Mr. Ellsworth stated that in the hearings on the subject form-
erly held in Amherst, no such arguments as are now presented were
offered in support of the old arrangement of disposing of college
products .
Mr. Johnson .
Mr. Johnson inquired what arrangements other agricultural
colleges make with respect to disposing of its products. No one
replied to this question.
Mr. J. lewis Ellsworth .
It is difficult to satisfy all by any arrangement which may
he adopted. A middle ground may perhaps be reached, whereby fair-
ness may be done to all. The Trustees will attempt to discover
what this position is.
Mr. II. 1:. TViomson .
Mr. Thomson called attention to the fact that the Amherst
market was different from a city market.
Mr. Atkins .
Mr. Atkins also expressed the opinion that the Amherst market
is much cheaper than other markets.
Mr. Ki n gman .
Mr. Kingman stated that better relations never existed betweai
the farmers and the college than now. nothing should be done to
injury in. any ^ e farmer and thus injure the college. The col-
lege must grow on a foundation which will be helpful to the farmer.
On the question whether the college should sell its produce
in Amherst at fair prices, practically every one present voted ir.
the affirmative; no one voted in the negative.

eight-hour system works great inconvenience, as with teansters,
herdsmen, firemen on Sundays, etc., end also in certain emergencies.
The college officials were given authority to carry out this plan,

through the working of the eight -hour law.

Professor Tompson also presented a score card which he
considered valuable in assisting the comparison of the various
types for the purposes in question. This was entitled, The
Influencing Factors in Determining the Location of the Market
Garden Field Station
(a) Unalterable factors
1. Location
- 5 -
Nearness to the Centre - Boston
Nearness to the main highway
Nearness to adequate transportation
facilities
Nearness to a freight station
Forty per cent for Location
2. Site
Lay of the land .
Character of the soil
Variety of the soil - upland and lowland
Suitable greenhouse site
Forty per cent for Site
(b) Alterable factors
1. Condition of the soil
Cost of putting in shape to give results
Time required
Fifteen per cent
2. Drainage
Five per cent
Some discussion of this score card followed with objections
by Secretary Wilfrid Wheeler. General discussion followed by
Trustee Frost and Secretary Wilfrid Wheeler about methods of
getting at the question. Mr. M. Ernest Moore asked how long the
appropriation would be available. He spoke for the Varnum Frost
property, mentioning the following facts: The soil is very satis-
factory for the purposes in question; variety of soil is good;
the land has been used for market gardening for years; location
is central, easily accessible, and there are three old green-
houses on the property which might be used for the present.
Mr. Harry F. Arnold , president of the Market Gardeners'
- 6 -
Association followed. He stated 'that Mr. Stone's property
in Watertown - Waltham, did not have the right kind of soil
for the purpose, it is too heavy, hut the location is very
good. He believes that the Frost property is what might be
called a second-hand proposition, with altogether too many
old buildings and old greenhouses Which would never be very
satisfactory for the work proposed. The location is good.
He believes that the McPhee property of North Lexington is
as good a proposition as we have £s a second-hand proposition.
Mr. Arnold believes that the Concord land is right in type and
very suitable for use. He would place his vote between the
Varnum Frost property of Belmont and the Concord property.
Mr. Howard voted for the Varnum "Frost property first;
the Stone property, Waftertown, second; Pierce property of
Arlington third.
. Esty followed with preference given to the Varnum
Frost property of Belmont, if sufficient money was available
to obtain this; second choice the McPhee property, Horth
Lexington; third choice Concord.
Mr. Frank Wheeler then gave his opinion as almost iden-
tical with that of Mr. Arnold, stating that if the appropri-
ation was sufficient he would vote first for the Varnum Frost
property, although he thought the buildings were of very little
value, and after some discussion this phase of the objection
was considerably emphasized to the extent that Mr. Wheeler
believed that the buildings were a distinct detriment to the
property. His second choice would be Concord.
- 7 -
Mr. Stone refused to give an opinion "because of his
•interest in the land in question.
Mr. Burnham's first choice was the Frost property of
Belmont, with Stone's second and Concord third.
Professor Torapson stated that he would vote first for
the Frost property and second for the McPhee property, hut
that he "believed that the ideal location would "be on some of
Mr. Wyman's land on Lake Street, particularly the section
known as the Estate.
Considerable general discussion followed with the
r
request from President Butter-field that the party visit the
Mcphee property on the return trip, which was done.
Mr. Arnold emphasized the damage done to the Frost
property by the lack of care given it during the past few
years, and stated that he thought that the increased cost
of caring for the property due to the weed seed allowed to
accumulate would he at least ftlOOO per year for ten years.
Some discussion followed.
Mr. Wilfrid Wheeler asked what it would cost to put
the "buildings in shape to use, referring particularly to
the greenhouses, and Mr. Moore replied that he thought it
would require at least $2000.
President Butterfield called for a vote of the faculty*
members present on the first and second choices for the Field
Station .
Professor Waugh stated that as for as he could see
the Varnum Frost property was all a fraud. He did not see
anything in it all for our purposes. He placed Concord
first because of price and quality of the land and the l£c-
Phee property second.
Professor Hurd voted for the Varnum Frost property
as number one choice, Concord property second; and Mr. Kenney
"believed that the Varnum Frost property was first choice and
Johnson Brothers of North Lexington, second.
Dr. Brooks voted for Concord only.
The meeting adjourned at 3.45 p.m.

nection of the same with the Town of Amherst.

the President and the Treasurer of the College.
The next morning the committee met ointment the select-
: of the Town of Amherst. The general proposition advanced
committee was that the town should plan its system of sewage
>sal, and that the College should cooperate so far as nay he
necessary in order to secure the greatest efficiency for both the
town and the College, but without raising unnecessary questions
before the Legislature.
It was eventually agreed that the selectmen should seek the
continued services of Mr. Johnson of Boston, formerly engineer of
the State Board of Health, in determining the best plan for sewage
disposal in that part of the town adjacent to the college proper
and that Mr. Wheeler for the Trustees would confer with Mr. John-
son in regard to a preliminary plan for such cooperat Dens
desirable.
The committee adjourned subject to the call of the Chairman.

Professor Tompson submitted revised plans for
the administration building of tne Station and
reported that Mr. Ritchie had not yet secured estimates
on the building. Professor Tompson also reported

Boston, Mass.. June 8,1911.
President Kenyon L. Butterfield, A.M.,
Amherst, Mass.
My dear President Butterfield:
At the semi-annual meeting of the Trustees of Boston
university held Tuesday, June 6, the following recommendation was
adopted by a unanimous vote:-
Whereas the agreement between the governing Boards of
Boston University and the Massachusetts Agricultural College, made
in 1875, has been faithfully kept until the present time, and Where- ,
as by the experience of thirty-six years it has proved that there
can be little or no practical benefit to either institution by con-
tinuing the somewhat slender alliance, it is recommended that, with
grateful appreciation of the uniform courtesy and good fellowship
shown by the President and Trustees of the Agricultural College to-
ward the representatives of Boston University, the connection be-
tween the tv/o institutions be terminated.
It is also recommended that a copy of this vote be sent by
the Secretary of this Board to the President of the Agricultural Col-
lege at Amherst, Mass., with the request that similar action be tak-
en by his trustees at their next meeting, and that when such action
is taken the original agreement be considered void.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) George S. Butters, Sec. Board of Trust.

MUTES OF MEETIN G OF TRUST EES' COMMI TTEE ON COURSE OF
STUDY AND FACULTY.
City Club, Boston, Sept. 20, 1913, at 1:00 p.m.
PRESENT: Messrs. Wheeler, Bacon, Richardson, Butterfield;
Professor John Phel an, Director of Short Courses
was also present.
The President introduced Professor John Phel an as
Director of Short Courses, and he made a general statement in
regard to plans and projects for the development of short
course work, more particularly during the ensuing collegiate
year.
The first item for discussion was the resolution of
the State Legislature in regard to a two-year course of study
for students who have attained the age of 17 years and who
possess the educational qualifications necessary for admission
to any approved Massachusetts high school. A point was made
that in view of the new draft laws, it was doubtful whether
many boys of the age of 1? would enter such a course. After
further discussion, it was
VOTED : To recommend to the Trustees that the college
offer a course of study that will meet the intent
and spirit of the Legislature of 1918 as embodied
in the Senate Resolution 374.
And further, it was
VOT ED : To recommend to the Trustees that beginning with
the ensuing college year, there be offered sub-
stantially a four months' course for students
having at least a grammar school education, and
who are not less than 15 years of age, if in the
judgment of the faculty of the college, such a
course seems to be feasible and practicable durinjg
the war emergency.
The Director emphasized the great importance of pro
viding for women students of agriculture, in view of the new
draft law.
It was
VOTED: To recommend to the Trustees that the President
and Director of Short Courses he authorized to
employ a woman suitably trained in agriculture,
whose official connection would he ivith the
Short Course staff, but who would also assist in
the agricultural training of women taking the full
college course, at a salary of not exceeding
$2500. per year.
The Director presented a list of short courses that
it seems desirable to offer during the coming year, enh racing
courses for women, particularly in the training for the
management of land army camps for farm labor, and for the
canning and preserving of food. Also courses for the so-called
reconstruction work for returned soliiers; special courses for
unclassified students, to experiment with certain short courses
in or near the city of Boston, and also the enlargement of the:
regular winter and summer schools of agriculture.
It was
VOTED : To recommend to the Trustees that the Director's
plan for the development of short course work
during the ensuing college year be approved as a
general plan.
The Director presented estimates of necessary ex-
penditures for short course work during the year 1919, and
i t was
VOTED: To recommend to the- Trustees that the Legislature
be asked to appropriate the sum of $15,000. for
the support of short courses during the fiscal
year beginning Dec. 1, 1318.
It was
VOTED: To designate the Chairman of this committee, Mr.
William Wheeler, as a sub-eoiimittee on short
courses with the understanding that the President
may request another member of the committee to act
in conjunction with Mr. Wheeler, if it is so desired,
3.
The President stated that if the attendance at
short courses increased very rapidly, it would soon be
necessary to have an assistant director of short courses, who$e
chief services would be looking after the welfare of the
students and performing such other administrative duties as
would naturally develop with the growth of the work. It was
VOT ED : To authorize the President and the Director to
recommend to this Committee a candidate for Assistant
Director at such time as they deem wise.
It was
VOTED : To authorize the President to recommend to the
Trustees from time to time the personnel of the
Short Course staff.
The President discussed the possibilities of the
need of establishing the position of Assistant or Associate
Professor of Rural Sociology to assist Professor Phelan in
the work of his Department, in case the Short Course work
develops rapidly.
The President reported the following changes in the
academic staff since the last meeting of the Committee:
